✨ CALLING ALL SCOUT & WASP EXPERTS! ✨
COMPETITION TIME – 1000 POINTS UP FOR GRABS!

We’ve posted a close-up photo of a Westland Scout gearbox… but here’s the challenge:

We’re looking to settle this once and for all β€” with help from the people who know these machines better than anyone.

πŸ† EARN 1000 POINTS: Tell us the differences (or confidently confirm there aren’t any!).
πŸ† EARN ANOTHER 1000 POINTS: If you’ve actually worked on both Scout and Wasp gearboxes in a workshop, let us know!

Drop your knowledge in the comments β€” technical detail very much encouraged!
Let’s see who in our community is the real subject-matter expert. πŸ”§βš™οΈ
